Patients\u2019 pain was assessed via 0\u201310 NRS pre-injection and immediately postinjection to determine positive anesthetic response to the injection. Six physical exam maneuvers (thigh thrust, Geanslen\u2019s test, FABER test, distraction test, compression test, and sacral thrust) were performed pre-injection and 15\u2009minutes postinjection. The results of these SIJ physical exam maneuvers were evaluated singly and in combinations for diagnostic power in relation to a positive anesthetic response (&amp;gt;80% relief) to the injection. No association was found between a single SIJ physical exam maneuver or combination of maneuvers and anesthetic response to the injection.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n
